DrsIxTEREsrED VIEW.

The London Disfdfeh had the following
editorial on Cleveland a few days ago
president Cleveland has returned from a
royal progress through the states the most
popular man in America and the most
successful President since Lincoln. -Four
years ago he was hardly known beyond
the borders of his own state. Three years
ago he was fighting his way to the Prssi-
dency through storm Of disgrscsful and
undeserved obliquy unparalleled even in
the personalities Of American politics. His
honesty, his modesty, his courage and his
loyalty to public duty are qualities which
have conquered the esteem ofhis country
men. These qualities have probably not
served him SO well with the professional
managers Of the democratic party, many
of whom have been scandalizcd to find
that their candidate actually meant what
he profsssed, but Mr.. Cleveland will to all
appearances live down the disaffection of
section Of his supporters,as he has lived
down the rancor Of his opponents. II the
democrats wish to secure an easy victory
next year they will nominate him again
for the Presidency. II they fail to do so
the chances are that he will be nominated
possibly even elected--by the independ-
ent men Of all parties. It is to be hoped
that personal acquaintance with Presi-
dent Cleveland will have beneficial ef.
feet on Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain. There
is certain similarity in the career, If not
In the character, Of the two men. Beth
are mugwumps, ]. e.,,men who have brok- |
en- away from strict party lines, although |
Mr.. Cleveland is not 50 much mugwump
himself as the nominee of mugwumps |
They are both Dy training municipal poll
ticians and both have become prominent |
party leaders. Beyond this point the
parallel becomes contrast which it would |
not be kind to Mr.. Chamberlain to pursue. /
II is enough to hope that the example Of
the ex-Mayor of Buffalo will not be wholly |
ost upon the exMayor of Birmingham
This is simply adispassionate statement
Of the popular feeling among the masses
of the people Of the United States with re-
gard to the administration of President
Cleveland He grows IN popular favor

Sir Lyon Playfair, who was at the head
of the English Peace and Arbitration del.
egation which waited on the President of
the White House, is the principal promot-
er of the present civil service system in
England. He is very enthusiastic over
the results of the system in the old coun-
try. In the course Of an interview upon
this subject Sir Lyon said
Generally speaking, open competition
is now the gateway to the English civil
service. There Is no farm laborer ofhod-
carrier Ia England so lowly or so wanting
in influence that his son, IL educated to
stand the test, may not pass into the SER
vice Of his country ahead of the offspring
of nobility. II is also admitted on all
hands that there was higher standard OF
education, refinement of manners and
morals, personal character generally and
of practical efficiency than at the present
time
"You think the country is as well serv.
cd and the personnel of the service as high
toned as when the common people were
excluded Y Sir Lyon was asked.
"Tho public service has been immensely
improved since It was opened to the sons
Of the common people. BY open csmps-
tition we get the best, the fttest survive
the ordeal. am surprised that the prin-
ciPle Of free competition as against the
principle of personal influence should
meet with any opposition In free and
democratic republic like America.
ihink the principle of free and open COM
petition must grow in popularity in this
country and be extended in It's spplica-
iion."

es. The Governor, as head Of the Board
should bear In mind that democrats will
be held to strict accountability for the

his excellency should be admonished that

The Statesman says that the defeat of the
Prohibitory amendment Is republican
victory. How the mighty have fallen
from their high estate ofgreat moral ideas.
Time was when the Statesman dared not
make such candid confession. II will
not do so at the next regular election in
this state. But how will such declsra-
ton fall upon the ears oftbousands Of con-
scientious republicans who have been
promised, times innumsrable, that the re-
publican party IL temperance party, and
that temperance people wauId get all the
temperance legislation asked for by them
from that party.

One company in Illinois controls and
supplies the entire market for sheet zinc
in this country. Sheet zinc is principally
used to put under stoves, as protection
against FIRE, and to cover washboards. /;

'the St. John racket" This was not :
small cabal, but included prominent lead

result of the election fully bears us oat in
that prediction. The majority against
